Gallery wrapped prints have the canvas wrapped around wood stretcher bars and are ready to hang. We offer several different stretcher bar depths to meet your needs. All gallery wrapped canvases are hand-sprayed with an archival UV coating of your choice and come with a wired back.
Rolled canvas prints are flat canvases that are not wrapped around stretcher bars. Ideal for shipping to clients who would rather save on postage costs and have canvases wrapped at their locale, or if you are going to mount the canvas to board or another substrate. Hand-sprayed with an archival UV coating of your choice.
Each of the matte smooth papers we offer has little to no texture, making them perfect for a wide range of imagery as they provide a blank canvas, as it were, to show off your artwork. Papers come in a variety of brightness and thickness to meet your needs. We suggest a heavier weight paper when making limited edition prints.
Ideal for watercolors, pastels, and charcoal imagery, our matte textured papers so perfectly mimic ‘real’ watercolor paper that it’s nearly impossible to tell that your print is a reproduction. We offer papers ranging from moderately to heavily textured to meet your needs.
These papers bring a slight sheen to your imagery and work very well with portraiture and landscape photography. They range from smooth, pearlized surfaces to moderately textured gloss surfaces that highlight saturated colors and high contrast black and white images. Our satin and pearl papers have the least reflective properties, while luster and baryta papers are glossier.
Our Baryta papers offer an amazing old school look and feel of a traditional silver print. Very reminiscent of early 20th and mid-century photographic papers, these Baryta papers are made with a special coating of barium sulfate that is used with photographs developed in a traditional darkroom. The textured, glossy surface adds loads of depth and offers some of the best color pop for your imagery.
Truly unique, these metallic papers add depth and brilliance to your imagery. The metallic pearl has a soft, smooth pearlized surface while the metallic silver will enhance any blue tones in your print. Metallic papers don’t work for all images, however, so you may want to talk to us prior to placing an order.
Gloss papers most closely resemble photographs that are printed in traditional darkrooms. The highly reflective, resin-coated surface allows your imagery to pop - especially high contrast and black and white photography. Best for times when you need your colors to be deeply saturated and sharp.

Selecting a paper is less about choosing a brand and more about choosing the presentation that best supports the artwork. Four characteristics have the greatest influence on the appearance of a finished print.
The surface determines whether the paper feels smooth or textured. Smooth papers emphasize detail and tonal transitions, while textured papers contribute character and complement traditional media such as watercolor, charcoal, pastel, and printmaking.
The surface also influences how viewers experience the artwork. Some artists prefer the paper to disappear beneath the image, while others choose a textured paper that becomes part of the finished presentation.
The finish influences reflectivity, contrast, color saturation, and the overall appearance of the print.
The best finish depends on both the artwork and the environment where the print will be displayed.
Paper color influences the overall appearance of a print.
Although the differences can appear subtle, the paper’s white point can noticeably affect the mood and character of the finished print.
Paper weight affects the physical feel, handling, and presentation of a print rather than the quality of the image itself.
Fine art papers are most commonly measured using GSM (grams per square meter). This measurement describes the weight of the paper based on a standardized sheet size. For example, a 310gsm paper weighs 310 grams per square meter.
Higher GSM papers generally feel thicker and more substantial, which is why many artists prefer heavier papers for:
Paper thickness may also be described using caliper measurements such as microns or mils. In some markets, heavier paper products may be described using points (pt), where one point equals one-thousandth of an inch. These measurements describe thickness rather than weight and cannot be directly converted from GSM because different paper fibers and coatings can produce different thicknesses at the same weight.
A higher GSM does not automatically mean a better print. Surface texture, coating, fiber content, archival characteristics, and how the paper reproduces the image are equally important considerations.
Both materials produce archival fine art prints.

The choice is usually determined by the artwork and the desired presentation rather than the fiber content alone.
Every artwork is different.
If you’d like guidance selecting the most appropriate paper or canvas, we’re happy to review your project and recommend media based on your artwork, presentation goals, and budget.
